Can you wear a "waist trainer" after flank lipo? (photo)

I am curious if wearing a girdle/waist trainer after flank lipo would be helpful or harmful. My surgeon is providing a compression wrap type garment but I was wondering when I could (if at all) wear my shaper garment similar to the photo below. It has a hook closure, latex lined on the inside and some "boning". I was wondering if the boning was likely to cause lumps or dents while healing? Thank you in advance.
